Court records show Ryan Snyder of Grand Island, Neb., was arrested Jan. 11 and charged with theft-shoplifting after investigators say he diverted customer payments intended for A2 Siding & Roofing, Grand Island, into a business account he controls, according to KSNB.
A probable cause affidavit filed by the Grand Island Police Department shows Snyder was a project manager for A2 Siding & Roofing and, as an independent contractor, collected payments from about 10 clients that should have gone to the roofing company.
Snyder reportedly directed clients to make payments to a business account he manages. Investigators found company records showing those payments were not given to A2 Siding & Roofing. Court records said the total amount of the payments was $201,644.91.
The affidavit includes text messages showing Snyder apologizing and providing a written breakdown of the clients he collected from and the remaining amount owed to the company.
